"Camper than a big camp of campers pitching up their pink sparkly tents, but funny as hell." [SCOTLAND ON SUNDAY]
"A hilarious show... a definite highlight of this year's festival." [DAILY RECORD]
"Riotously funny... his energy is boundless... He is that rare thing, a naturally funny comedian whose skewed expressions are enough to keep us happy. But he is also a terrific singer, with an effortless high falsetto that he employs to parody all the gay icons... his drunken Garland and underwater Streisand are spine-tinglingly accurate; tiny vocal masterpieces alone worth the ticket price." [THE INDEPENDENT]
"One of the kings of modern Scottish stand-up rushes at the audience with bursts of song, quick insults, and sink-estate tales." [THE INDEPENDENT]
"A wonderful ability to exude incredible warmth, and still deliver material that could make your hair curl... Undeniably, naturally funny... one of TV's national treasures." [LAM]
"Craig Hill live is a revelation. Cheery and charming, the audience warms to him instantly, but there's also a dark, couldn't-care-less bitchiness to his comedy... Nothing and no-one is safe from Hill's sharp and deadly put-downs." [THE SCOTSMAN]
"Craig Hill is more of a Loony Toons cartoon character than a flesh and blood comedian... He's a cheeky improvisor, throwing out bitchy backhanded comments at anyone who gives him cause, but the most hypnotic thing about Hill is watching what he does with his body... Akin to watching Jim Carrey dance the Highland Fling." [THE SCOTSMAN]
"A high-camp, high-energy non-stop spate of gags, audience-directed invective (in the nicest possible way) and deadly-accurate take-offs of various chanteuses... Hill's voice and his impressions are so precise it's hard not to wonder if there wasn't a more serious musical career discarded in favour of comedy - except that keeping a straight face, or anything else for that matter, might be well-night impossible for such a lively and cheeky performer." [THE SUNDAY AGE, AUSTRALIA)
"Craig Hill runs on to the stage with the confidence born of a divine comic gift. He's tiny and cute, crammed full of a huge voice and hilarious impressions of divas, divvies and washed-up slappers. Hill is alive to the sound of his audience screaming for mercy but the pithy observations just keep coming. He has 'star' stamped through him like a stick of rock." [THE STAGE]
"Outrageous campery... Watch him and weep. With laughter."
[ROUGHCUTS, Scottish Screen Magazine]
"Class. Risque, rib-tickling and absolutely screaming from the rafters... Hill was born to be onstage and loves every minute of it, bringing a sense of joy to his performance." [EVENING NEWS, Edinburgh]
"Camp Scot in a kilt with an enormous talent." [THE TIMES]
"You are entertained like you've never been before... A show you wish would last forever... If you had to go to the same show every night of the festival, then this would be the one" [RADIO FORTH]
"Riotously funny divine comedy." [GAY SCOTLAND]
"Risque brand of camp humour and flamboyant style... His Glasgow-ned mouth is astonishing, his singing voice particularly impressive... [the] audience was in raptures at his cheeky observations" [HERALD]
"Hill displays a unique satirical flair... If Rory Bremner is the Daily Telegraph of topical comedy then Craig Hill is the Hello! Magazine" [EVENING NEWS, Edinburgh]
"Born to be on stage... Craig Hill is a charismatic performer... The audience love him, his chit-chat, his repartee, his camp mannerisms and facial contortions." [THE LIST]
"He has the rare ability to make any audience feel like part of an intimate gathering... Magical diva imitations and irresistible campery... His Julie Andrews singing 'Gangsta's Paradise' needs to be seen to be believed... Craig Hill is simply a legend waiting to happen." [THE LIST]
"Wickedly subversive parodies of legendary high-camp divas... Funny, charming and charismatic... His unique blend of mimicry and razor sharp wit had audiences begging for more" [METRO]
"Julie Andrews does hip-hop. Shirley Bassey sings rugby songs. The Queen goes punk. These are a few of Craig Hill's favourite things - and ours it transpires." [GUARDIAN, THE GUIDE]
